Climate Disasters

From extreme heat waves and catastrophic flooding to devastating wildfires and hurricanes, human-induced climate change is making extreme weather events in the United States and its territories more frequent, more intense, and more severe, exposing more communities to harm every year. Federal and state actions to regulate planet-warming polluters, invest in disaster preparedness, and rebuild stronger communities and infrastructure in the wake of a disaster would save lives, protect public health and safety, and substantially reduce rebuilding costs.
